We loved this place!! It's family run and you get a real sense that this is a labour of love from people who care and don't just see it as an opportunity to take advantage of transient tourists. Wine superb, food superb, service superb. Try the tuna carpaccio and the red shrimp ravioli - they were sublime! Our hostess even let me practice my (terrible) Italian without resorting to English!! The best dining experience we had in our four days in Amalfi. We were gutted they were closed on our last night!

We stumbled into a fantastic, family owned, patron loved world of classic Amalfi cuisine. A simple focaccia sandwich and shared green salad was enhanced by fresh bufala mozzarella delivered that morning. Our mouths tingled with delight as we dined and chatted with the owners. The menu is a blend of the young chef and his nonna. We met their sons who added to the charm of the family ristorante. Give it a try and delight your senses!

Popped in here for lunch and it was a nice place to get out of the chaos of the town. The fish was okay - simple with tomatoes on top. Pasta w/clams was also okay. Salad was a bowl of lettuce (no dressing/toppings). However, feel like I can't fault this particular restaurant as other places also served us simply a bowl of lettuce. It does not seem salad is something people typically eat in Italy. Decaf coffee was the tiniest cup of coffee ever, but tasty. Was the food delish - no, but it was fine and we didn't want more pizza. They have so many lovely looking salami at the front. If u go, perhaps try for a charcuterie. Staff were quite nice and pleasant.

Everything we tried was delicious. We had marinated fish, seafood pasta, and meatballs. All great. The bread that came with the meatballs wasn’t fresh but otherwise we really liked our food. Huge selection of wines.

After a bad experience just around the corner, we went to this place. Owners are super lovely, speak perfect English, and you will feel understand. We did enjoy long conversation with them. Place is quiet, have a great selection of wines. Food was also very good. If you wants just you rest from the crowds, that's a spot for you.

I cannot say enough good things about this quaint quiet and cute little bar and restaurant. I had the Tris marinate del Protontino (octopus, swordfish and anchovies) and the meatballs. The food was perfect and delicious and service was fabulous. Thank you for a lovely relaxing lunch.
